Demonstrating Appreciation: Drew Meyers and Melissa Cheong

For Melissa Cheong and Drew Meyers, moving to Colorado from New York City was a change of pace. Six years ago, Melissa and Drew moved their three boys, Graham (Grade 2), Sebastian (Grade 8), and Quinn (‘21), from Lower Manhattan to Colorado, and now, they are proud to call Denver “home.”

Melissa and Drew credit Graland for helping their children feel at home in Colorado. Melissa, a managing partner at Blackhorn Ventures, and Drew, a partner at Seaport Capital, often travel for work, and both had heard positive reviews about Graland from various alumni they had met in Denver and beyond. Drew shared that after meeting Graland alumni in places like New York, San Francisco, and London, it was evident that it was time for a tour and to see what the school was all about. “To hear that this school has such an expansive community was what struck us, even before we had the chance to walk the grounds,” Drew said. When they finally visited campus, their regard for the Graland community only grew. “We felt so welcomed when we met the people here. There was a real authenticity,” he continued. Melissa agreed, adding that having all of her children in one school solidified their sense of community and belonging. “When we were able to get all three boys into Graland, it really changed things,” Melissa said. “There was continuity, and we were able to be a part of one, cohesive community.”

A few years after they joined Graland, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and amidst the struggle and uncertainty, Melissa and Drew felt comforted by the school’s tireless commitment to its students, educators, and families. “One of the things that blew us away was what the entire organization and teaching body pulled off,” Drew said, reflecting on the experience. “Sometimes an institution needs to be responsive, and Graland continued to put the development of the child first.” Drew and Melissa also noted the impressive continuity of education and structure, even while constantly pivoting to confront new challenges. Their oldest son, Quinn (‘21), had a different experience with many of the culminating events that had previously defined the end of Middle School, but Graland was able to keep him engaged and purposeful throughout. “We were disappointed for him, but he stayed super connected with both teachers and students during that period of time,” Drew said. Even with increased constraints on learning, Quinn entered into his freshman year at Kent Denver School confident in his abilities, passions, and talents. “That’s something that definitely came out of Graland: his agency and his desire to be accountable,” Melissa said. “It was noticeable how prepared he was to lean into this new chapter.” Watching their three sons thrive at Graland made Drew and Melissa’s decision to contribute to the Graland Annual Fund an easy one. “After seeing the impact that the teaching body has had here on our kids, it kind of goes without question,” Drew said. Even beyond wanting to show their appreciation for the school, though, Melissa and Drew know how many resources it takes to help a community succeed, and they wanted to support Graland’s ability to keep providing an impactful educational experience for students and their families. “We’ve both served on different committees, so we’ve gotten brief glimpses into how much time, energy, and effort goes into making sure this community is inclusive and diverse, and does so with a high degree of professionalism,” Melissa said. “It’s our way of being a cheerleader and showing appreciation,” Drew said. “It feels like a small thing to do.”
